 An experimental approach involves preventing the parasite from binding with red blood cells by blocking calcium signalling between the parasite and the host cell.Erythrocyte-binding-like proteins (EBLs) and reticulocyte-binding protein homologues (RHs) are both used by specialized P. falciparum organelles known as rhoptries and micronemes to bind with the host cell.Disrupting the binding process can stop the parasite.
